Lighting your interiors is important, we all know that. But exterior lighting fulfils a range of key functions too. It’s a wayfinding tool, a means of highlighting great architecture, and an easy way to enhance backyards and patios. Here are a few of our favourite outdoor lighting solutions from Zero, Vibia, and RBW – three award-winning companies with a fresh approach to exterior illumination.

Meridiano floor

The MERIDIANO collection by Vibia, designed by Jordi Vilardell & Meritxell Vidal, provides a soft and comfortable light that plays with forms and shadows in order to create magical luminous effects. In this way MERIDIANO is not simply a lamp but helps create an ambience, a feeling of wellbeing where the outdoor lamp is playfully reinterpreted in terms of form and function, ideally suited for the natural environment. Doubling as a stool or coffee table during the day, the MERIDIANO provides an original and practical touch to the design of gardens, patios and swimming pools. Its structure is made up of curved steel rods that project radial shadows over its surroundings.

Break Plus

The Vibia Break Plus wall lamp transforms any surface into a striking three-dimensional mural. Whether installed individually or in a group, it features an array of cubic and cylindrical volumes that emit diffuse, indirect light upwards, downwards, or both. This surface-mounted, easy-to-maintain outdoor lamp is perfect for both private residences and large commercial projects. The lacquered matte finish adds a subtle graininess, enhancing its geometric design. Illuminate your space with the Vibia Break Plus wall lamp and create a captivating visual impact.

Bamboo

The Bamboo range by Vibia features bollards, floor lamps and wall lamps with sleek, unimposing silhouettes. Like the Plant range, its muted finishes help it look right at home amongst gardens and pathways. Bamboo bollards are a perfect pathway illuminant with their downward projection and crisp lighting effect. Their warm colour temperature creates a relaxing and inviting atmosphere all year round. Bamboo wall lamps create a light statement when installed in rows, adding instant appeal to large, bare walls.

Brisa

The Brisa outdoor lamps by Vibia are an elegant way to integrate light with your landscape. They’re designed to resemble a bluebell with their thin stems and arching necks.

Choose between one, three or five light points within the Brisa range. Each diffuser can be adjusted to project light wherever needed – onto seating, prized garden beds, and pathways. The fitting resembles either a lone flower or a grouping of blooms, depending on which model you choose.

Dimple

And last, but not least, the Dimple sconce by RBW. A close relative of the Crisp, Dimple comes in a range of colours and serves as a glowing beacon for your exterior. Perfect for the backyard or the bathroom, Dimple has a charming concave diffuser which produces an orb-like pattern of atmospheric light. The diffuser is available in plain glass, amber glass, frosted glass or dark grey glass – also known as Smoke.

Dots

Compact and versatile, the Vibia Dots Outdoor light seamlessly integrates into any garden, making it the ideal solution for various exterior low lighting needs. Each luminaire features a rounded opening that reflects light from within, creating a halo of ambient light resembling a radiant crown. The second version has one side closed, allowing designers to control the light direction and adjust the intensity. Illuminate your outdoor spaces with the Vibia Dots Outdoor light for a stunning and customizable lighting effect.
